Fast and Accurate Lung Function Testing

Spirometry is a quick, painless, and highly accurate breathing test used to assess lung function. At our private clinics in Budapest, experienced pulmonologists and modern diagnostic tools are available to help detect respiratory issues, whether for clinical reasons or as part of an occupational health screening.

When Is Spirometry Recommended?

A spirometry test is especially useful in the following cases:

• Chronic cough, shortness of breath, or chest tightness

• Suspected asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

• Smoking history or current tobacco use

• Recurring respiratory infections

• Required lung function check for occupational health or driver’s license fitness assessments

What Happens During a Spirometry Test?

During the test, you will breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a specialized device that records the volume and speed of air inhaled and exhaled. These measurements help assess the overall condition of your lungs.

The procedure is completely painless and usually takes about 15–30 minutes. In some cases, a bronchodilator may be administered and the test repeated (reversibility test) to help differentiate asthma from COPD.

How to Prepare for the Test

• Avoid eating or smoking within 2 hours before the test

• Refrain from caffeine consumption

• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes

• If you take respiratory medications, ask your doctor if they should be skipped that day
